Day-to-day variability in sleep parameters and depression risk: a prospective cohort study of training physicians
Abstract While 24-h total sleep time (TST) is established as a critical driver of major depression, the relationships between sleep timing and regularity and mental health remain poorly characterized because most studies have relied on either self-report assessments or traditional objective sleep me...
